I was just sitting here and had an idea for a game.
The game would take place in no particular time period and no particular city. The story begins with you in an insane asylum with no recollection of why you are here or really much of who you are. You know you have been drugged and that the asylum is heavily guarded. Your job is to escape from the insane asylum and discover yourself and the secret behind why you were captured. I was thinking it would be a mix of action/adventure and puzzles. Perhaps a mix of "oddworld" and (if you remember this old one) "out of this world". It would mostly be about the story and the puzzles with some action/adventure thrown in.
This is just a thought and I was wondering what people think about it. Does it sounded interesting and worth persuing. Also do you think its a plausible game to make on TGE with the TLK as well. This would be a single player, mac based game. anyways, if anyone is interested in working on this or just has a thought please feel free to post.

Can't recall the name, but remember playing it late in the night and jumping when
the inmates screamed their heads off.

There was an old top down 2D game from the 90's that followed exactly this premise.Can't recall the name, but remember playing it late in the night and jumping when
the inmates screamed their heads off.
